A further object of the invention is the provision of a which is simplein construction, reliable and efiicient in its purpose, and inexpensivein manufacture.

that the plates can be molded in the wall of r the body A of the bottleto become a permanent part thereof, and to remove it the body A willnecessarily have to be broken or damaged to a degree for rendering itunfit for use. i

Cut from the base plate 5 near the ends 7 which are outwardly bent'at anangle to the plane of the outer face of the plate and thereof areresilient tongues or wings 9 r serve to frictionally bind and secure thename plate 7'upon the base plate 5 so as to hold it locked thereto. v

Formed on the inner face of the name plate 7 are cam facestops 10,which, on the sliding of the said plate in the guides or flanges 6,willride over the tongues or'wings 9 for the positive locking engagementof the latter with the stops 9' to fasten the name plate 7 in position,thereby making it impossible to remove the same.
